Jan Helfeld interviews Senator Harry Reid about government coercion. Reid maintains that taxation is voluntary despite all evidence to the contrary.How does Harry Reid get into this bind? Well, by arguing that the government is not forcefully taking money from some citizens through taxes in order to provide goods and services for others. In his attempt to dispute this fact, he finds himself arguing that taxes are voluntary, which by the way, is preposterous.

Harry Reid really comes off like a mental patient. You can't reason with him because he's crazy. But it's too wearisome to keep arguing and he's too aware of the power trip to simply throw him into a padded cell. So far at least. He's pathological. It's not enough to simply engage in violent acts. For people with his mental condition it's important the victim embraces the tormentor.

"We have withholding here too don't we?" "Huh?""Withholding?""With some programs yes."Yes, with some programs - programs like getting a paycheck.

Taxes are voluntary just like getting raped is voluntary. You really do have a choice - but if you choose not to you get punched in the eye and taken anyway. But there is a choice...I guess.

War is peace, slavery is freedom and taxation is voluntary.

Fuck you Harry Reid.

fjfjvmvm, obviously, you're a Socialist - which means you're either pathetically lazy, don't understand the purpose of Law, or both. The things you mention can also be provided through charity - and probably much more efficiently than under the burden of bureaucratic waste. The only "childish perspective" here is yours. The US wasn't built by Socialists - but it's being destroyed by them. Read "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat - you can read it online for free (which should appeal to you).

No - you're wrong. The Fed is a private corporation - and while it DOES control our government to a large extent, it's not controlled by anyone other than the central bankers who make it up. It's no more "Federal" than Federal Express, Federal Pest Control, Federal Way Pizza - or any number of other businesses with "Federal" in their names. They named it that way so that people would THINK it was part of the US Government - and it apparently works... on some people...

Given choice people would choose to keep more of their money rather than support these programs i.e. people who vote in exchange for handouts. Meaning the dregs you advocate for and I suspect people like you would get exactly jackshit. Goes to the whole point that taxation is not voluntary. I manage to buy my own insurance and pay my own bills all by myself and have never taken a dime of government assistance, while being in a lower income bracket. That must shock you.

"Always, full stop period!" Yep the world is really simple. Parks are evil socialism and providing medical care to those who can't afford it is the moral equivalent of the holocaust. Luckily most people will never take your childish perspective seriously.

Excluding roads, ports, police, and military Government has few legitimate functions. Did it occur to you perhaps not everyone seeks a handout? A handout in exchange for votes are all social programs are. Create a conflict of interest and you lock down votes, that is why most of the world is socialist. I am individual, not a sheep. I realize people have no obligation to me nor do I to them. Voting to demand a handout taken from others is WRONG! Always full stop period!
